The Buffalo News reports that the Bills will pay roughly $37 million in salary and bonuses in 2007 to the players they have signed, which means that linebacker Takeo Spikes is likely to be traded. Spikes is due to earn $4.6 million from the Bills this year, and that's space they want to use for several less expensive players.

Given our total lack of LB's and his injury problems, at this point he's more valuable to us than anything we'd get in a trade.

Re: Spikes trade still alive as per CBS...
If we trade him at this point after not cutting him before FA its just further proof it's about nothing else other than money to one Mr Ralph Wilson.
This is starting to get comical now following a promising first day of free agency.. You can believe Ralph is gonna get that money back one way or the other.

Originally posted by patmoran2006Getting rid of him in any way period is a financial move and nothing more at this point.
I don't know if it's the right thing to do for the team - I lean towards it not being the case, but you can't say it would be *purely* financial.

Re: Spikes trade still alive as per CBS...
I was totally wrong on the McGahee trade but I have to believe there can't be alot of interest in Spikes after this kind of injury. I believe the Bills are pushing to renegotiate his deal and that's why they threw him out for a trade. Once he see's that a restructured deal here is still better than a one year guranteed deal elsewhere he'll hopefully reconsider.

Spikes is an intense competitor and at this point nothing more than backup/rotational LB - if he's willing to take a major pay cut than The Answer says keep him, if not goodbye #51 - thanks for the effort and great play!

Originally posted by The AnswerThe Answer thinks this is most feasible scenario - let's face it Spikes was a great player, but when he went down in that Atlanta game you could tell by the look on his face that his career flashed before his eyes - and he will never be the dominant force he once was, age is also a factor here.
